Allston/Brighton stop on the Framingham/Worcester line?

Elected leaders representing the Allston-Brighton area announced Wednesday night that the state and New Balance have agreed to build a long-awaited commuter rail station in conjunction with the shoe company’s proposed $500 million development there.

The station along the Framingham/Worcester commuter rail line is expected to cost about $16 million, state Representative Michael J. Moran said during a public meeting at WGBH headquarters in Brighton Wednesday night. Allston-Brighton currently has no commuter rail stops.
